A new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) imaged a previously unexplored portion of the seafloor in ultra-deep waters near ...

Depth maps generally suffer from large erroneous areas even in public RGB-Depth datasets. Existing learning-based depth recovery methods are limited by insufficient high-quality datasets and ...

Together, these technologies have opened a window into previously inaccessible ecosystems, enabling scientists to study trench life in unprecedented detail and leading to the tantalizing possibility ...

The world has 37 hadal trenches, which are ocean zones exceeding 6,000 meters in depth. The hadal trench environment is characterized by high pressure, low temperatures, permanent darkness, active ...

Shape-shifting robot that swims now explores Mariana Trench, reaches depth of 34,776-ft The gripper, attached to a submersible’s arm, retrieved live specimens from the South China Sea’s ...

Masterminded in the latter half of World War I, the German trench strategy called Defence in Depth proved to be a much more formidable and sustainable system than the earlier 'hold the front line ...

A team of engineers at Apple has developed an AI-based model called Depth Pro that can map the depth of a 2D image. The team has written a paper describing the app and its capabilities and has posted ...

Depth Pro’s architecture hinges on the use of plain Vision Transformer (ViT) encoders, based on the work of Dosovitskiy et al. (2021), which process patches of the image at multiple scales. These ...

The trench is the deepest place on Earth, deeper than Mount Everest is high, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Japan and Australia.
